Charles and Mike are back from shore leave, cadets, and the Appleverse decided that was the perfect moment to pull some serious mischief and folderol in order to avoid the crew's righteous wrath! Mike starts with a recap of his vacation time, but Charles quickly gets on to the big stories, including Jony Ive's formal departure, Sundar Pichai learns the Alphabet, T-Mobile gets deceptive about their "5G," India gets serious about Apple, TV+ debuts some new shows, the best apps get their rewards, and BMW gets its just desserts for its stupid CarPlay tax. There's also an update on a surprising 16-inch MacBook Pro problem, the latest rumors about the iPhone 12 (and the iPhone ... 9?), an update on the latest "location-gate," the debut of Apple Pay Express, the best apps of 2019, and the annual Apple Christmas ad gives us all the feels. All this and a floppy disk worth over $80K, cadets, so hold on to your astro-credits ... the holiday spending spree has hit warp speed already!
